What happens to your furniture after pickup

Furniture in usable condition — structurally sound, clean, no major damage — is donated to local charities like Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill, and Salvation Army. Our haulers prioritize donation whenever possible. Wood furniture that can't be donated may be recycled or repurposed. Metal frames and hardware are sent to scrap processors. Items that can't be donated or recycled are disposed of at licensed solid waste facilities.

Why Kettering residents choose Dropcurb for furniture removal

Dropcurb picks up any day for $79 — not four times a year with five-week waits. We take the fridges, TVs, and exercise equipment Kettering's quarterly program excludes. Book from Delco or Town and Country and skip the seasonal scheduling game.
